Love to see your thoughts on the two types of serves. A player hit a lob serve to me this morning, I tried to drive it back but the contact point was too high for that. I sliced it back when he did that again another time. How was your recent trip to Toronto, Canada?
If you want to play a high ball like that aggressively, try taking it on the rise. The timing is harder but move into the court as the ball bounces so you can catch it in your strike zone
so I'm kinda new-ish to this channel, I can tell the "open stance serves are BS" line is some kind of joke but can someone give me the context for this one please? lol. Does he just hate doing them as a preference, or does he think they're a bad habit in general? My serve improved overnight when I switched to a more open stance 😅
I think they are just as good if not better but it's up to which style fits you better. If we have Bar using open stance, his serve won't be that powerful I think, unless he puts some effort to that change
@@zaf7819 I actually switched to open stance to get better follow through/step through. It’s improved my consistency quite a bit. However my power does have to come a lot more from my arm/torso and I don’t get any from momentum. But all in all, deep serve consistency is wayyyy up in an open serve
I’m with you 100% on open stance serves being BS. A major source of power is the opposition between the strong side shoulder (coming backwards) and strong side hip (coming forwards). Open stance makes it easier to feel this opposition… even when it’s not really there. For most people doing it, it’s an illusion and power is absent because of a lack of that opposition, too short a backswing, and being wildly off balance with all the weight on the strong side leg, with that knee and hip in the way of the swing path.
I find the low and fast serve works better with a good amount of wrist used, but harder to control with wrist.

Those serves are illegal. 😝 I need help.
“Open stance serves are bull$hit….” Love the ending lol. Great tips as always

He’s probably taking a rip at another pro, maybe jack Monroe
Edit: idk how jack even serves but they rip on eachother back and forth

Tyson McGuffin hits a pretty good open stance serve I'd be happy with.
